Headed into Juarez!

Good morning!

Unlike yesterday, it's an early morning for us. We were up and moving around at 5:25 and we're loaded and ready to go. Grabbing breakfast at Burger King and McDonald's and then we're meeting the Casas staff and crossing the border.

Things are going well. We got to El Paso around 6 last night, packed out Chipotle for dinner with Jason and Jared (our Casas staff members) and then ran through Walmart. We were in and out in under 2.5 hours! No processing problems this year and we're loaded to the tops of the vans with food, brooms, mops, and dishes.

Everyone's excited to build today. We finally get to meet the families we've been praying for. Attitudes are great, the work ethic already has been amazing and they all seem to be bonding well as a group. We picked up Jordan and Carly last night, so all 39 of us are here.

Please be praying for clear weather (rain is forecasted), and for our team leaders, Jason, Jared and Seth and their families as we build. Safety, sleep and working kitchen appliances are also on our prayer request list! But most of all, please be praying that we will be living examples of Christ here on earth as we build and serve.

We'll update again on Thursday when we are back in the U.S.

We love all of you! Thanks for your prayers and support!
